    Some Guys Like to be Noticed

    Several years ago I went to a gay bar with my then boyfriend to meet some close friends of mine (a gay couple) for dinner. They were late so we just sat and had a drink. My ex sat there in his black jeans and black leather jacket, leaned back against the wall with his legs spread out and back against the bar looking for all the world like he was inviting someone to come hit on him. And he was. He was and is straight, but he can not get enough sexual attention and he really doesn't care if it's male attention or female.

    That's what I get from this guy. Not gay, just desperate for attention and the way his wife dresses indicates that she doesn't try to challenge him for that attention. But now he wants her to be arm candy and make him look EVEN BETTER. I bet if she dresses up and gets some attention of her own, he'll be telling her that he liked the hippie look better.
